Does every luxury building resolve the problem of citizens? Such government official should be sacked. It has been mentioned that practicing capitalism is bad. Government in those capitalism countries has yet to be so arrogant. In long term, problems facing by those citizens in the country haven’t received any assistance and resolution, what is the point to have them? Then, who care to have that kind of government? Lavishment, ostentation and extravagance, banquet, all these are to fulfill personal selfish desire, power and battle. Let’s say, if the existence of prodigal government is extensive happen in Chinese society, and it is not the problem of customs and habits for certain group of people, but it is a general phenomenon caused by design ability. Due to the fact that, the difficult earnings contributed by citizens have flown to those ‘parasites’ of the society, hence, all citizens should cooperate to take legal action against this putrescence government.

But, how come they never learn to serve their civilians in solving their problems, to stop corruption as well as financial issue. I used to work for the US Finance Department. Each of their expenses is always made clear. Individual in the department would not have authority to spend a single penny for entertainment! For those entertainment expenses which dealing with business, always prove with receipt, the bill from restaurant usually never more then $100. If the State Government requested for any investment funding, the fund will be directed to the respective unit. The unit involved will show their balance sheet. Definitely, will show some results as well.

It shouldn’t blend together. The duty for each of every department and their responsibility must be systematic and definite. It can’t be in one-man control situation. For instance, if government receives funding which should be allocated as education fund for rural area, however, it has been used for other purposes, but does not implement accordingly, the government should suffer from legal sanction. Indemnity, imprisoned. The prodigal attitudes from the government are due to lack of tough sanctions and responsibility from various departments.

Who is to treat himself as an enemy? So changes are difficult. As us ordinary people, just get ourselves organized first, then try influencing the people around. That's probably all that we can do.
